# Ram Gopal Varma’s ‘Police Company’ to be two-part film 2026-08-17T16:13:45+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Ram Gopal Varma's upcoming crime thriller 'Police Company' will be released as a two-part franchise, with Harshvardhan Rane playing encounter specialist Daya Nayak. According to a Bollywood Hungama report, Bhushan Kumar's T-Series is backing the project, and shooting has begun. Both instalments will be shot back-to-back, with the first part targeting a mid-2027 release and the second following a few months later. Set in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the film is a period crime thriller centred on the Mumbai Police Detection Unit, or 'Encounter Squad', which dismantled organised crime syndicates linked to Dawood Ibrahim and Chhota Rajan. The cast also includes Fardeen Khan, Saurabh Shukla, Paresh Rawal and Makarand Deshpande. T-Series initially considered a web series, but RGV pushed for a theatrical franchise, convinced the story needed a big-screen treatment. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
